The disciples
of Sir Isaac Walton were out in force,
and met with more or less luck; and IN
the words of one of them "a visitor from
the East, who got little mixed as to
of bald-eyed pike" A few picnic par
ties braved the elements, and, while
shivering over their lunch-baskets,
thought of the good times they might
have had if the weather had only been
a little warmer. But the newcomers
kept arriving, and the 'buSSes from the
several hotels return well filled. Ii the
weather proves favorable to-day a large
crowd is expected out; and the hotel
keepers will again put on their linen
busters and hot weather smiles.
TWO OF A KIND.
Decoration day evening was cold and
raw. The guests of the hotels had
sought shelter within doors and were
ranged around the fireplaces telling
stories that had attained their second
childhood, and the occupants OF the
camps, while enjoying the warmth their
coal oil stoves afforded, were discussing
the unusually mild winter they were eX-
periencing and telling each other what
blankety blank fools they were for COM
ing out so early in the season. Though
the day had been stormy there had been
more than the usual number of fisher
men on the lake, and Commodore Lea
mon was standing on his dock in front
of the Williams house jingling the days
receipts in his pocket and gazing into
the fast gathering gloom for any be-
lated angler who might yet be
abroad. While so standing he was
approached by G. d. O'Brien, who was
out for stroll on the beach and enjoy
ing his usual after-dinner cigar. After
of converSation-the Weather-had been
duly discussed, the conversation drifted
to fishing. ''None of your lake fishing
for me-" remarked the genial eX-mayor.
"After man has once angled for trout
all other kinds.of fishing lose their charm.
/ remember WELL" he continued, as he
lighted fresh Havana, ga few years
ago [ was fishing for brook trout in
stream that had quite a reputation as
being favorite abiding place for the
speckled beauties. l had met with
varied success and was seated on log,
admiring the reflection of the trees as
mirrored in the crystal waters of the
brook, with my fishing pole extended
and the hook dangling in the air
fully foot above the water, when sud-
parted, and a good-Sized trout jumped
right up and hooked himself on my
line" The commodore looked at the
speaker, at the same time making an in
voluntary movement towards heavy
piece of railroad iron used as an anchor
to one OF the boats, but. seeming to
change his mind, shifted the quid to the
other side of his mouth and began: ga
long time ago, when Manitou island was
the peaceful home of the redSkin, was
employed as cook for a party of campers
on Lake Ontario. Well, the boys were
very fond of fish, and l was in the habit
of setting baited line in the lake every
night before turning in. One morning
| started to pull in the line, but pulled
hind got ct s snngged ["s on though LOT
or something; but I tugged away
and finally it began to move; kept on
pulling, hand over hand, until pretty
soon l saw a big fin and the tail of
fish sticking out of the water and COM
ing towards me. Closer and closer it
came until finally succeeded in land
ing as pretty fifteen-pound sturgeon as
you ever saw. But the funny part of
the whole business was that l didn't
catch him on the hook. Oh, no. The
fish had in some manner twisted the
line around his tail and tied himself
securely with as neat a knot as you
could make yourself. l called the boys
out to show them how had caught
him, but they all swore that l tied the
knot myself, but"

''Good night" said the commodore.
